No, this has nothing with glibc to do.

No, SuSE Linux 6.2 has with glibc 2.1.1 a newer glibc version,
not SuSE Linux 6.1.

No, there are binaries which will not work with the
new glibc. You need to recompile some libaries and
binaries. Don't ask me yet which. It is much easier
to update to SuSE Linux 6.2.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
